Can I take 60 and Lansoprazole together?

Why this happens

Dasatinib (60) needs a highly acidic environment in the stomach to dissolve properly so it can be absorbed into your bloodstream. Lansoprazole is a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) that reduces stomach acid. By making the stomach less acidic, lansoprazole prevents the dasatinib from dissolving and entering your system.

You should not take lansoprazole while you are being treated with dasatinib (60). Speak to your doctor or specialist immediately about alternative ways to manage indigestion or heartburn. They may suggest using a fast-acting antacid (like Gaviscon) instead, but these must be timed carefully (usually taken 2 hours before or 2 hours after your dasatinib dose).
